Mounting Evidence For Authenticity of
MJ-12 Documents

Robert M. Wood, Ph.D.

Presented at the International MUFON Symposium
July 2001, Irvine, CA

Abstract

Ever since the first “leaked” MJ- 12 Eisenhower Briefing Document in 1984 describing a top-
secret crash recovery program, the authenticity of UEO documents has been questioned. With
the continuing exposure of hundreds of classified pages by numerous unidentified sources, the
evidence favoring authenticity is mounting. This paper will update the status of the available
documents, generally what they say and provide a concise status of the issues regarding
authenticity, including the answers to those with a skeptical view. Of particular significance will be
the results of research and forensic studies, including those on 22 pages on original paper, where
chromatographic ink dating and other state of the art techniques clearly indicate that the
documents were likely to have been created long ago and cannot be modem high tech fakes. The
classic comparisons with archival authentic documents show the expected similarities, and the
content is shown to be consistent with numerous arcane facts known to only scholars in
historiography. Difficulties with identical signatures will be explored, including the astonishing
possibility that the sophisticated document cover-up started in the early stages of documentation
in the State Department in the 40s. Remarkably, the most hkely hypothesis is that we are seeing a
leak of copies of genuine documents held in personal files for decades. The conclusion is that we
have had a stunningly successful UEO research cover-up for five decades and if these crashes
and recoveries occurred, such documents ought to exist.

Introduction

Last year I presented a paper titled, “Validating tte New Majestic Documents.” This year’s
title, “Mounting Evidence for Authenticity of MJ- 12 Documents” begins where the last presentation left
off, presenting the results of certain forensic testing, refining previous arguments, and answering the
accumulation of skeptical concerns. It would be very useful to have a copy of last year’s proceedings
available as you read this paper.

Science, the extraterrestrials and the odds

Nearly everyone expects that it is unlikely that we are the only inteUigent life in tie universe.
Given the right planet, the right composition of oxygen, you normally get bipedal results with eyes and
ears on top out of the dirt. So, why do we feel obligated to require extreme odds when everyone thinks
it is likely?

The acceptance of new scientific ideas usually requires theory as well as a mountain of facts.
Two theoretic problems prevent the widespread acceptance of some UFOs as Extraterrestrial (ET)
spacecraft: The first is the obvious inference that if so many are coming to visit that they must have
figured out a way to transcend time or travel faster than light. We do not know how to do that, and
furthermore, most people think that Einstein’s equations prohibit this. This is not rigorously so. The
second theoretic problem is that the procedure used to obtain the enormous forces and energies to
travel from star to star at these speeds. We likewise have not figured out how to do this. We also know
that most constructive scientists agree that there is more to learn; that old equations get replaced with
newer equations with one added term, such as those modifying F= ma at high speeds.

Thus, the only thing standing in the way of having a high expectation that some UFOs are ET
spacecraft is the near- certainty that we will achieve a better understanding of physics.

One can conclude that it is likely that we have been visited, and ordinary, not extraordinary,
proof is aU that is required. Sagan and Shklovsky took this view in their classic book, “InteUigent Life in
the Universe,” where they discussed historical ET visitors.

Moving away from the scientist’s view is that of the common man, who often asserts that if there
had been landings and we had recovered craft, that the government would not want to keep this secret,
and besides, “everyone knows that governments can not keep secrets effectively.” The former is naive
and the latter is false, as evidenced by examples: the Manhattan Project to develop the atomic bomb,
the invasion of Normandy, the decoding of the Japanese and German codes, and the development of
stealth aircraft. These secrets were known to the thousands of people who worked on them but those
who should not know did not.

Authenticity of MJ-12 Documents

The whole point of this preamble is to put you in a the frame of mind that says that if you find a
highly classified “leaked” government document, that it is at least equally likely that it is genuine as it is
fake.

Such Documents Should Exist

For those people who have spent careful attention to the mass of hterature on the subject of
UFO reality there would, we suspect, be a fair degree of agreement that ahen craft crashed in New
Mexico and maybe other places too, that they have been seen at close range, that they leave marks on
the ground, and that they appear to have occupants.

If this is true, it is inconceivable that we, the United States, would not have initiated a project to
find out ever3dhing we can, and do it in great secrecy. It is a virtual certainty that such a project would
have had some written records over the years. It is also widely believed that documents “leak” and that
“people cannot keep secrets.” If this is so, we would be expecting to have some documents surface,
and we have some. The only question is whether they are genuine or whether they are fake. The usual
tools of questioned document examiners must be brought to bear on the question of which are genuine
and which are not. This is what we are doing.

Taking this logic farther, it is necessary to evaluate each document on it own merits, and the
individual attributes of provenance, typography, and content including relations to chronology and
possible authorship. The remarkableness of the content sometimes makes some people react
subconsciously to reject the stories as too bizarre. The scientific method uses a systematic approach
without letting emotions affect the probabfiity of fakery vs. genuineness. Specifically, the argument that
one of the documents could be easily faked and therefore was faked is illogical. The determination of
fakery is a question for the questioned document examiner, using aU the tools of the trade and expertise
of the subject. The argument that “an5dhing can be faked these days with high technology” ignores the
fact that some of these documents were recorded to be on the scene before the arrival of the more
modem electronic simulation programs.

To take the position that without proof of genuineness they are fake is illogical because of the
certainty that such documents exist if crashes have occurred. Similarly, to take the position that, without
proof of fakery, they are genuine is also illogical because it is certainly ttue that some fake documents
might exist. This logic says that, before a questioned document determination, it is equally likely that
they are genuine as that they are fake.

Background of MJ-12 Documents: Scope, Sources, Pages

One of the first questions often asked is in regards to where the documents came from, and how
many pages there are. A simple answer is to show these in a table, included as Table 1. This table is a
synopsis of the more precise data included on the website www.majesticdocuments.com. It can be seen
that roughly 70% of the documents are classified, usually Secret or Top Secret Code Word, accounting
for more than 10% of the pages. With almost no exceptions, there has been no official government
release of any of this material, although the packages were mailed from government facftities in two
instances (CIA internal mailbox and the FOIA office at Ft. Meade). These contents are now in the
pubhc domain.

Some skeptics have attempted to convince themselves that Tim Cooper somehow created this
mass of material. If the author had not gone to see him, the documents might well have stayed in his
attic. No doubt, however, the early exposure of the documents surely did trigger other sources to come
forward with their papers. The least unlikely hypothesis is that these sources have been keeping this
material in their files for their lifetimes, do not know what to do with it, and somehow sense that it is in
the pubhc interest to “teU the story.”

The story the documents teU is highly consistent from document to document, era to era. The
more recently leaked documents begin with the famous Los Angeles “Air Raid” of 1942 and the aUeged
recovery of two craft on that occasion, triggering George IVhrshaU (Chief of Staff) to set up the
Interplanetary Phenomenon Unit, and President Roosevelt to reject an ah- out FT effort until we had
won the war. This opened the door for President Truman and Vannevar Bush to pick up without losing
tempo, so when the 1947 crashes occurred, our special mihtary recovery teams were ready.
Afterwards, our recovery program successfully seems to have begun the process of reverse engineering,
but our documents run out before we know the answer from them. The details of many of the
documents can be inspected on our website: www.majesticdocuments.com. Where noted with a page
number on Table 1, about half of the hst is available in print in the softback book, “The Majestic
Documents,” which can be ordered on the website.

Characterizing The Documents Physicaiiy

The spectnim of paper characteristics runs the gamut: modem xerographic copies of old
carbons, photos of pages of documents, original carbon copies, original old rephcas, and original
typewritten pages. If the paper is original and old, watermarks can be identified, and there are also pen
and ink markings. In some cases the typewriter impressions are clear enough to identify the typewriter
make and year. There are stamps (time stamps, security stamps, numbering stamps) available for
inspection and correlation with known usage. In the case of the Special Operations Manual, this author
had extensive personal interactions with professionals at the U.S. Government Printing office, gaining
insight about type fonts, styles, and processes that would have been used if it had been printed in 1954
as stated. An examination of the 1959 USGPO publication, “Specimens of Type Faces” has revealed
two fonts for the sans-serif bold headers that could have been used in the era: the Franklin Gothic and
the Square Gothic, the latter seeming to be shghtly closer to the images in the original photographs
because of the constancy of tine thickness and because of the letter spacing. If Square Gothic was used,
this puts to rest the suggestion that Helvetica type, not invented until a more modem era, “proved” that it
was a fake.

Meaningful Skeptical Inquiries

The process of authentication proof with so many different documents includes a very wide
range of considerations, such as:

• Physical dating of the ink, pencil and paper

• Dating by matching the reproductive process (typewriter or printer)

• Dating by use of language of the period

• Identification of authorship using linguistics

• Comparison of handwriting

• Comparison with known events of record

• Comparison with known styles and procedures of production

• Comparison with known or expected security procedures

• Logic of content

• Records of provenance

Evaluation of Questioned Documents with Forensics

My partner (Ryan Wood) and I have consulted with two specialized entities for the evaluation
of the selected documents at issue. The first is James Black, a Fellow of the Questioned Documents
Section of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences and a former chairman of the Questioned

6

Authenticity of MJ-12 Documents

Documents Subcommittee of the American Society of Testing and Materials. For examination of paper
and ink, he recommended the Speckin Forensic Laboratories. Their qualifications are available at
www.4n6.com. The following kinds of tests have been pursued with these consultants.

Comparison of Typewriters and Identification

James Black has thousands of typewriter impressions for reference (one with a carbon and one
with a ribbon) and a working knowledge of what he has. He is able to look at a typewriter impression,
(especially if it is an original) and go quickly to the exemplars for comparison. It was in this manner, for
example, that he easily established that the Truman/Forrestal memo was typed on a 1940 Underwood.
There is no mystery to this process. Prior claims for a different, later, typewriter are without foundation
(Moore & Shandera 1990).

Identification of Watermarks and Timeiine

If the paper is original and has a clear watermark, it can be enhanced and copied on specialized
equipment. One such watermark, “Royal Writing,” was traced to The S. E. & M. Vernon Company,
out of business by the 1960s. Other watermarks, such as the Eagle watermark on the “Burned Memo,”
are consistent with government- style usage although the individual manufacturing dates are not always
available.

Identification of Penciis, Inks and Timelines

It is possible to remove a very small sample of paper, about the diameter of a paper clip, that
includes the pen or ink marks and subject it to a variety of tests, such as chromatography, and then
compare the resulting spectmm with those of known pencil or pen samples. This usually permits one to
state that the document is “later than” the date that such pen or pencil was manufactured. All of the
results are consistent with the stated dates on the documents.

Table 2 presents a summary of the principal results of the forensic testing by these consultants.
The most significant points from this detailed table are:

• A second copy of the EBD has been confirmed on non- photocopied (original) paper.

• The red ink security stamps on the Bowen manuscript and the “Burned Memo” are
consistent with the stated era.

• The pencil notations about Don Menzel were made with a pencil made in the 1950s.

• The typewriter for the Tmman Eorrestal memo was an Underwood, circa 1940.

• The “Burned Memo” was done with Courier type introduced by IBM in 1956.

• The Bowen manuscript handwriting appears to match some in the IPU Report.

• The ink alluding to Majestic in the FID page was manufactured by Formulabs in 1972.

Authenticity of MJ-12 Documents

Update On Concerns About Authenticity

The paper last year dealt with about 20 specific concerns regarding authenticity, largely
accumulated fiom criticisms in papers by Deuley, Randle, and a “Joint Statement” by Aldrich, Berliner,
Deuley, HaU and Rodeghier pubhshed electronically. I consider that all of these concerns have been
disposed of but I will highlight a few of them in Table 3.

Reference
for concern

Concern (page number in “The
Majestic Documents”)

Gist of answer

Aldrich et al

In the 1954 SOM1 -01 it says to tell prying
eyes it was a crashed satellite, but the
first satellite was launched in 1957 (p

142)

Knowledge of our satellite plans was widespread, and satellites were just
one of several deceptive statements suggested. Numerous public
references discussed our satellite program plans.

Aldrich et al

In SOM 1-01 it alludes to Area 51 , S-4,
which did not exist then, (p 145)

There is evidence for earlier involvement of the CIA at this location; the
government still continues to classify the ancient history of Area 51 .

Aldrich et al

Restricted and Top Secret caveats were
incompatible at the time.

Examples of the use of Restricted generically have been shown together
with Top Secret.

Aldrich et al

For SOM1 -01 , the type font on the
headers is Flelvetica, a font that did not
exist in 1954. Our knowledge of the
“graphics trade” is not current, (p 142)

Two fonts have been found that match adequately; Franklin Gothic which
matches very closely, and Square Gothic, which matches precisely, both
available earlier than 1 959, long before Helvetica.

Aldrich et al

For SOM1 -01 , it would be easy to fake a
hot lead printing flaw, such as a raised
“z.” (p142)

The evidence is overwhelming that the manual was printed with a hot lead
press. The difficulty of replicating not only an occasional raised “z” but also
the correct letter spacing is staggering.

Deuley, May
1999

Entire case rests on the Eisen-hower
Briefing Document (p 121)

Most of our documents predate the EBD. In any case, another copy of the
EBD has been certified as old paper.

Aldrich et al

Only a documentary paper trail of
certified documents would be acceptable
evidence for reality.

Such a requirement would eliminate all copies of genuine documents, the
most likely way for illicit copies to exist. Not a logical requirement.

Deuley, June
1999

The title page would not have a widow,
word “law.” (p 133)

Style Manual prohibits widow lines to a new page, not widow words on a
new line. The Government is concerned about the cost of paper, but will
print it however the paying customer wants it.

Randle, 1997

“Seal included to add visual impact.”

The use of the archaic “War Office” seal appears on official Army Manuals
as late as 19691

Greenwood,

1999

New Zealand One-Fourth Regi-ment story
timing flawed. (p 100)

This is a complex question and we have postponed the answer. The
people who wrote the document may have been misinformed.

Several

Presence of grammatical errors strongly
suggest fakery. {p81 summarizes
numerous gram-matical errors for “White
Hot”)

Many of the documents are drafts, less well proofread than final copies.
Errors need to be placed in the context of the author and the typist, who
may or may not be the same person. Technical personnel are not always
good at English.

Several

“Retro-virus” is a word anachronism, not
invented until the 1970s (p 92)

Retrovirus without a hyphen has a different meaning than the collegial use
of “retro-virus,” alluding to a retrograde viral evolution. This concept
appeared in a 1 935 paper.

Deuley, May
1999

People will fake documents for a giggle.

No person has offered any fakes that pass even simple tests for
authenticity. We are eager to examine all alleged UFO-related documents
for authenticity.

Friedman,

July 2000

Deuterium is called light hydrogen in the
“White Hot” report. Compounds are called
elements. Some make no sense.

The author was clearly mystified and not sophisticated technically. The
word “element” is clearly generic in this use. The impact of seeing ET
technology for the first time would stress many. The best technical types
may not have been cleared at the time of the report.

Deuley, May
1999

The 1 2 April 49 Hillenkoetter memo could
have been faked inside the FOIA system.
The CIA will not admit they sent it.

The memo appears totally genuine, with no signs of tampering. Looks like
one that the declassifiers forgot. It would be naive to imagine that the FOIA
process is not monitored and controlled by Top Secret assets.

Table 3. Most of the reasonable questions raised by the skeptics have been satisfactorily answered.

Robert M. Wood

Dealing with the concerns of skeptics is a never-ending process, because each response often
engenders a rebuttal. For example, when it was complained that there was not a security page on
SOMl-01, we found one on the original negatives, and then there were complaints that it had minor
flaws.

The “Emulation” Problem

Several questioned documents have characteristics that are similar to previously pubhshed
apparently authentic ones. These documents and the reasons why there may be a problem are shown in

Defense. Language similar to authentic
letter to Tom Dewey.

Table 4. Seven pairs of documents show similarities in wording, timing, and chirography that clearly warrant a
discussion of why these similarities are present. Congratulations to Stan Friedman for locating these problem
documents.

These problems will be discussed in detail at the July 2001 Symposium, providing new insight to
their solution. The similarity of language cannot be ignored, nor can the identicahty of the penmanship.
The preliminary “least unlikely” hypothesis is that Truman, Marshall, and Wedemeyer were aU involved
in the intentional creation of the emulations at the time, thereby continuing the process of deception
already underway to protect the secrecy of the non- terrestrial projects at all costs as “Not for Pubhc
Inspection.”

Authenticity of MJ-12 Documents

Conclusion

The greatest secret of the 20* century — crash recoveries leading to a covert official UFO
program — is being gradually revealed through the leaks of classified documents held in individual files
for decades. Original documents can be dated back into the 1950s and no impressive reasons have
come to hght that would seriously impeach the authenticity of hundreds of pages of classified material,
together with thousands of pages of supportive documentation. If these crashes and recoveries
occurred, such documents ought to exist.
